IDJJ Sch Dist 428

IDJJ School District 428 is an active, state-operated educational agency headquartered at 1112 S. Wabash Avenue, Suite 200, in Chicago, Illinois. Operating as a non-charter public system, the district oversees four operational schools that serve students from sixth through twelfth grade, with the largest concentration of active enrollment across traditional high school levels (grades nine through twelve). Though its central administrative facility resides in urban Chicago, the district's primary community setting is categorized as a remote town, reflecting its unique state-wide mission to deliver essential secondary instruction and educational continuity within specialized state facilities.

According to federal reporting for the 2024–2025 academic year, District 428 serves a total student body of 125 scholars, comprising 119 male students and 6 female students. The student population represents a diverse community, including 72 Black, 26 White, 18 Hispanic, and 9 multiracial youth. To deliver targeted instruction and support services, the district maintains a substantial professional staff of 110 full-time equivalent positions. This workforce includes 68 full-time equivalent teachers and 42 dedicated support staff members, yielding an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio that ensures highly individualized academic guidance, specialized course offerings, and comprehensive support tailored to each student's needs.
